Using the material support offered by the lay people, the monks can then spend their time devoted to meditation, study, and Dhamma discussions.

In the evenings and on the weekends there are activities organized for the public to come and practice the Buddha’s teachings. Some of these focus on meditation, some focus on learning, and some focus on practices like chanting. There are some activities especially for young adults and children.

From time to time lay people will gather at the monastery to organize social service activities such as blood drives and collections for local food banks.
